REBLOG: Another treasure found in Paul’s archives! Be sure to pay a visit to a favorite poet’s blog. You are missed, Paul. ❤
Painting by KM Schmidt
the irrational heart
cannot think so it dreams
cannot speak so it yearns
cannot laugh so it loves
cannot cry so it aches
emotions in equipoise
beating in balance
a clockwork arrangement
each feeling expressed
in its apposite time
the irrational heart
makes endogenous choices
its reflex to stimulus
mappings laid down in
the mists of the womb
it secretly operates
independent of intellect
organic magic and mystery
giving man means to
most fully experience life

“The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.” – Blaise Pascal
Paul is much missed.
